Toy Run Tuesday #142 - Large Shelf Diorama

We’re just about caught up on my collecting activities while I was away. At the end of my leave I was afforded enough time (and enough free wood) to make a dream come true. About 3 years ago I designed a small papercraft model of a large building I wanted to make for my action figures, and, in a lot less time than I thought it would take, I finally was able to finish the real thing. Take a look here.

I constructed this building from mostly 2×6’s and 2×4’s, so it is probably about 60lbs. My son could use it as a stepstool if he wanted (and if it were less precarious). The front panels are MDF particle board tacked on with finishing nails. I am an amateur, so the dimensions aren’t quite perfect. I think that has more to do with sanding angles and the cheap tools I have available to me. In any case, I am very happy with the result. It’s exactly what I wanted on this shelf!

The purple letters light up, and there is space enough for small ships and speeders on the 3 platforms on the left. Expect some photos once it’s all populated!
